Quad ESL

ESL simulator

This program allows you to calculate the theoretical frequency response of an electrostatic loudspeaker given it's physical dimensions. It is based on Frank Verwaals excellent work on the general expression of Walker's equation. See how it works below and the Theory section for technical information on electrostatic loudspeakers in general.

Like any simulator you can make it do thinks that can not be done in real life. This can be an advantage, for example if you want to test theory, but it can also be a disadvantage if you don't know what you're doing. The simulator does not check for sane values so you can make an ESL of 10 meters high if you want, it does not care (but it might get slow..)

How it works, what it can do and what it can't do.
